In a significant development, the Jharkhand government on Thursday (November 6, 2025) appointed senior IPS officer Tadasha Mishra (IPS:1994:JH) as the acting Director General of Police (DGP) of the state. The Home Department issued an official notification to this effect late Thursday evening.
Tadasha Mishra, who was serving as Special Secretary in the Home, Prisons & Disaster Management Department, has been transferred and appointed as the acting Director General and Director General of Police in her own pay scale until further orders.
The state government has also accepted the voluntary retirement (VRS) application of the incumbent DGP, Anurag Gupta (IPS:1990:JH). His retirement will be effective from November 6, 2025.
Reports of Anurag Gupta meeting Chief Minister Hemant Soren and submitting his resignation had circulated earlier but remained unconfirmed. With the appointment of Tadasha Mishra as the new acting DGP, the transition in the state police leadership has now been made official.
